These are groups which are advocating No Cold War and peace with China, but to the U.S. establishment they are threats.

Bob had a great conversation w/ Jodie Evans (@MsJodieEvans), a co-founder of Code Pink, about the work of these groups in advocating for an end to saber-rattling w/ China and negotiations in Ukraine, and about their true relationships w/ China and others.

The NYT piece was a boilerplate Cold War smear job, the kind that the U.S. media and political class has been conducting for a century now. It’s a resurgence in McCarthyism and it needs to be stopped now.
